Flare 2018 Top Tattoo Parlours in Canada to see

We were surprised and honored to have been chosen as part of the this prestigious list of top tattoo studios in Canada.

After being selected we were contacted by the lovely Victoria Christie - Contributing Localist Editor, for FLARE, and she was able to speak with some of the staff about the studio. She then sent us this link to the upcoming story 2018 Flare Top Tattoo Parlours Across Canada.

Nicole is an inspired Microblading artist based out of Toronto, trained and certified by Lash Forever Canada. Nicole comes from an Architectural background with a Bachelor of Environmental Design from OCAD University. Jumping into the beauty industry, Nicole realized how relevant her years of technical drawing and precision have become.

What is Microbading?

Microblading is a meticulous tattooing process available to anyone looking for a semi-permanent solution to sparse brows. It is done with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine. A small blade is used to deposit ink throughout the brow area, in the upper layers of skin. Using their tool to draw hair-like strokes, to mimic natural hairs in your brows. The result: a natural-looking filler that lasts anywhere from one to three years.Microblading is also known by a variety of names, such as: Embroidery, Microstroking, Feather touch and hair like strokes. It's a form of permanent makeup that provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments. Over time the strokes can blur and fade and will need to be refreshed. After your initial procedure.

The results can last up to 2 years.

Nicole Bianca will do a touch up at no extra cost, approx 6 weeks or so after to ensure you're happy with the color shape, and fullness of your brows!

We were happy to help out Gary Fraser in his quest to find models for his upcoming Photopolis art showing. Happy to say, the photos turned out really well and he captured each one in raw form. No Photoshop, no fixes, just raw photo's capturing a moment in time.

He wanted me to say thanks to NARCITY and the wonderful clients he meet while in Canada, that made this possible for him. He still has hopes of returning in the upcoming year to finish pieces that has was unable to as well as start on a few more. He loved it here and was as disappointed as we were that his time here had to be cut short.

Eldrick is still in Halifax at Sin on Skin and here to help you with your ink needs. Call, message or stop by so you can meet with him and discuss your ideas.

"I couldn't be happier with my experience. Nicole is an absolute delight - she organized my booking and consultation, made me feel welcome, relaxed and taken care of. Incredibly efficient and attentive.My tattoo (a classic B&W swallow) was done by Kyle. I was amazed with the quality and speed of his work. Having had my 1st tattoo at another studio back home in Australia, I thought we were only half done when he had completely finished the job. Not only did he do a beautiful job of the design I requested - he exceeded my expectations and made it even better."Elise ArentzSin on Skin client
